That's better than these clients that shut off their AC at 5 PM and everyone is half naked and sweating by 630 PM. I will not document what an all nighter is like there.

If I ever have to hire consultants in industry, I will probably:

1. Deactivate their security badges at random times, selecting only the senior most team members (to keep them humble)

2. Barge into their reserved rooms unannounced, kicking them out for "urgent executive meeting"

3. Question everything in their deliverables, inuding all content, all units of measure, and all fonts.
